Water Services

Water is life, and nowhere more so than in the interior of this, the driest inhabited continent on earth.

Measuring and monitoring the quality of both surface and groundwater has become an increasingly prominent issue with the spread of mining and coal seam gas activities … ensuring human and environmental health is paramount.

We use only NATA accredited laboratories, and a water testing methodology that complies with relevant government requirements, to monitor both ground and surface water for private landholders, Government and industry.

Our hydrogeologist has 16 years experience with Department of Natural Resources and Mines, with six of these as a Senior Technical Officer working on groundwater monitoring, drilling, licensing, bore rehabilitation and well dynamics. He also project managed bore-drain replacement projects including survey, design, consultation and construction.

We provide:

bore construction analysis and interpretation

artesian and sub-artesian bore monitoring

aquifer performance

third-party assessment of bore vulnerability to CSG

third-party certification of processes and procedures

analysis and interpretation of water quality
